The past couple years I've put together some gaming goals at the beginning of the year. Not something that I hold myself to a lot, but at least they are in the back of my mind. It is no 10x10 challenge, though perhaps this year I'll do that, but rather it is some general fun.So how'd I do on last year's? Let's see below.1. Play 100 games with my daughters.Success! I've played 148 games so far with my kids and I'm sure I'll get a few more in before the end of the year.
We played 48 unique games, with, and getting more plays than any others. It has been a great year playing with them and I'm excited to see where next year goes. I'm sure this will be a gaming goal again.2. Have a working prototype for a game I'm designing with a friend.I'm going to give this a success.
Not sure the 'with a friend' part has gone as well as he or I would have liked. We bandied some ideas about, but both got really busy with life. However, in the past year I have put together a prototype and played it three times!3. Show Lunch Swap to a publisher.The prototype is with a publisher right now! Maybe it'll come of something, maybe it won't, but this goal is accomplished.4. 5 x 10 ChallengeI've failed miserably at this one. Which is why I don't do a 10x10 challenge.
Here are my plays:. x1, x3, x7, x4, x2. As you can see not a single one at the 10 play mark. Perhaps next year I should do a 5x5, which will get me closer, but still failing.So there you go. 3 out of 4 isn't so bad right? In the next few weeks I'm sure I'll put together a goals for 2018 post.This makes me really sad. Only a single play of EmDo!

I've got to do much better than that in 2018. Love that game.
For a summary of a previous TGS, check out our media day review and pics here:The Tokyo Game Show remains one of the top gaming shows in the world. While the first two days of the event are industry and press only, days three and four are open to the sweaty masses.The show is on a huge scale with booths from all the major game publishers, console makers and mobile gaming platforms with a few indies and international booths thrown in as well.If you want to play some of the new games, you’ll need to turn up early (the more fanatical mill around the station area all night and then queue up from 5am) and know exactly where you’re going when you get inside. The queues at the entrance ease up around noon, so if you turn up before that, bring liquid refreshment and a hat as the weather in this part of Japan is still hot in September.If you’re not into waiting in line at the booths for hours, there is plenty of other entertainment—including one of the biggest gathering of around. There is also a dedicated area for families with small children.Cheapo Pro-tip: Pre-purchasing your ticket from a convenience store or online direct from the organisers will save you ¥ 200 and you don’t need to queue to purchase tickets at the gate (you still have to queue, just not for purchasing tickets).Usually the closing day is most popular, but people tend to rearrange their plans due to the frequent typhoons that buffet the Japan archipelago in September. Be warned, if you don’t like (at times) intensely crowded places, you may not enjoy the public days at TGS. With over 600,000 readers each month, Tokyo Cheapo is the site of choice for value hunters who want their yen to go further in Tokyo.
